Yangzhou was in complete chaos.
Groups of Dongchang foreigners rushed out of the imperial envoy's residence and headed towards Yan Huaiyuan's property. All of Yangzhou was immediately thrown into chaos.
Zhang Jing personally led his men to the Transport Commissioner's office to search the house.
The other team headed straight for the Qi Family and quickly surrounded the entire Qi Family.
The people outside were not allowed to go in and the people inside were not allowed to come out.
Like this, all of Yangzhou City became even more chaotic and everyone was panicking.
Who didn't know about Yangzhou City's Qi Family? Now the imperial envoy was actually targeting the Qi Family.
Prefectural yamen.
"Master, master!"
The advisor ran in from outside and came to Qin Hewen's side and said, "The imperial envoy's yamen has already sent people to surround the Qi Family, the Qi Family is finished!" Then the advisor said with a sad face, "Master, we should quickly think of a way!"
Hearing this, Qin Hewen's body swayed and he sat down on a chair.
"How could this be, how could this be!"
Qin Hewen didn't know what to do for a moment. He looked at the advisor and asked, "What about the inspector's yamen?
Is there any news?
Did the inspector say what to do? "
The advisor swallowed his saliva and hesitantly said, "Master, there's no news from the inspector's yamen!"
Qin Hewen's body swayed. What should he do? After thinking about it, Qin Hewen quickly said, "Go to Taihe Floor, go to Taihe Floor to see shopkeeper Xu!" After saying this, Qin Hewen didn't even have time to do anything else as he turned around and walked out.
The advisor stomped his feet and quickly followed, "Master, master, now is not the time, it's not too late to go at night."
Qi Family.
Qi Heng looked at the housekeeper and asked in a deep voice, "What did the people outside say?"
The housekeeper looked at Qi Heng and hesitantly said, "Master, the people outside said that the Qi Family is suspected of being involved in the illegal salt case and are restricting the Qi Family's entry and exit to prevent them from escaping."
"Good, very good!" Qi Heng gritted his teeth and said with an abnormally fierce expression.
"There's also no news from the inspector's yamen?" Qi Heng looked at the housekeeper and asked.
The housekeeper shook his head, "Master, there's still no news."
Ever since the imperial envoy had left for the south, there had been no news from the inspector-general's yamen. Qi Heng was not surprised to hear the housekeeper's words. Now, there was no one he could point to.
Qi Heng glanced at the housekeeper and said in a deep voice, "Go out tonight and find Han San."
"Master, it hasn't reached this point yet, right?" The butler looked at Qi Heng and said in horror.
"It's not that bad yet?"
Qi Heng laughed self-deprecatingly, "It has already come to this. There is no news from the Governor's Office. Our Qi Clan has been sealed. If we don't do anything, we can only wait for death."
"Don't talk nonsense, do as I say!" Qi Heng scolded the butler.
In fact, it was impossible for news to come from the Southern Zhili Inspector-General's office. The Southern Zhili Inspector-General was now under control, but the news was not released.
Zhu Yijun could allow trouble in Yangzhou, but he would never allow trouble in South Zhili.
Regardless of whether the inspector-general of Southern Zhili was in trouble or not, he should first be arrested and isolated for investigation.
Beijing, Wenhua Palace.
"Imperial Majesty, Imperial Majesty, great news!"
Zhang He rushed in from the outside, holding the memorial in his hand and shouting loudly. When he saw Zhu Yijun, he directly knelt on the ground, "Imperial Majesty, Imperial Majesty, Qi Shaobao has good news, a great victory in Qinghu Gully!"
After hearing Zhang He's words, Zhu Yijun immediately became excited and stood up from the dragon throne.
He reached out to pick up the memorial and looked through it. Then, Zhu Yijun also laughed loudly, waving the memorial in his hand, Zhu Yijun said loudly, "What a good Qi Jiguang, well done, well done!"
"Imperial Majesty, a few cabinet scholars request to see you!"
Seeing that Zhu Yijun was so happy, Zhang He waited until Zhu Yijun finished venting before speaking carefully.
"Good, let them in!"
Zhu Yijun smiled as he put down the memorial and then said with a smile. The depression that had accumulated in his heart for many days was now swept away.
Zhu Yijun took a deep breath, as if he wanted to exhale all the turbid air.
Not long after, the four cabinet scholars walked in from outside.
After the four of them bowed, Shen Shixing said with a smile, "This great victory in the northwest is all thanks to Your Majesty's wise decision. The soldiers at the frontlines have put their lives on the line. This is a blessing from the Daming. We congratulate Your Majesty and the Daming!"
"Good, good!" Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Shixing with a smile and nodded with satisfaction.
The four of them said a few more New Year greetings, then Shen Shixing changed the topic and said directly, "Your Majesty, although Qi Shaobao has won this battle, wiped out 10,000 Wala cavalrymen, and captured Hwang Tae-gil's son, Talic, alive, we still need to be cautious about the northwest!"
"After this battle, the relationship between the Wala and the Daming will be completely severed. The imperial court should take precautions in advance!"
Zhu Yijun took a look at Shen Shixing and said with a smile: "Shen Gonglao's words are wise and wise, Zhen is very comforted. Send an order to the governors of the three borders and Governor Xuan to prepare the army for war, to guard against the Wala's attack."
"At the same time, send an order to Qi Jiguang to command the Datong Army of the Xuan Prefecture and find an opportunity to fight."
The four of them were stunned. The Emperor still wanted to fight?
However, they also knew that they could not stop the young Emperor in front of them at this time.
If they objected, it would only increase the Emperor's disgust, so they simply did not say anything.
"We receive the order!" The four of them hurriedly bowed and replied.
The only thing that did not conform to the rules was that Qi Jiguang was commanding the army. This was the authority of the Governor and Governor.
However, Qi Jiguang's status was too high. In addition, the Commander-In-Chief of the Five Armies was now on the rise, so they could not say anything.
Since Zhu Yijun had sent Qi Jiguang, he would definitely let Qi Jiguang fight.
Although the current civil officials in the northwest were not bad, when it came to commanding an army in the wilderness, they were all amateurs.
Generals like Qi Jiguang were the experts. This time, Zhu Yijun did not just want to annihilate the 10,000 men of the Hwang Tae-gil.
Shanxi Datong Garrison.
Flags were fluttering outside Datong City today. Governor Xuan Nian Da and Datong Army Commander Ma Lu were both present. Zhang Cheng was also riding beside them. Everyone was waiting quietly.
Until a group of cavalry appeared on the horizon, the atmosphere here also relaxed.
The news that Qi Jiguang had annihilated 10,000 Wala cavalry and captured Wala Hwang Tae-gil's son, Talic, was even more shocking to Datong than entering the city.
Although they often fought with Wala, such a great victory was rare.
After all, Daming had always been on the defensive and did not really go out to fight often.
In this battle, not only had they annihilated 10,000 Wala cavalry, but they had also captured Hwang Tae-gil's son, Talic.
Although Wala claimed that all their citizens were soldiers, and that they could control 200,000 bowstrings, there were only 60,000 to 70,000 elite cavalry.
The 10,000 that Qi Jiguang had killed this time were definitely the best of the best.
Although this was not a serious blow to Wala and Hwang Tae-gil, it was definitely a huge loss.
Qi Jiguang's triumphant return was naturally a cause for celebration in Datong. Governor Xuan Nian Da even rushed over.
Firstly, it was to celebrate, and secondly, it was to continue fighting. This battle naturally could not end with just this one battle.
While Datong was celebrating, Gui Hua City was filled with sorrow.
When Hwang Tae-gil learned that his cavalry had been annihilated and his son had been captured, one could imagine the rage in his heart. At the same time, he also felt a sense of fear.
He had not even settled Sanniangzi's side, and now he was in trouble.
Originally, he had the upper hand over Sanniangzi, but now he had been dealt a heavy blow.
Not only had he lost 10,000 elites, but he had also caused even more wavering tribes to hesitate. This was an even greater blow to Hwang Tae-gil.
After considering for two days, Hwang Tae-gil made a decision. It was time to start.
"Temur, pass on my order. All tribes are to assemble!" Hwang Tae-gil looked at his general and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Great Khan!" Temur answered, then turned and walked out.
Glancing at his other subordinate, Huang Taiji said directly, "Send someone to deliver a letter to Bansheng City. I am going to start a war with the Great Ming Dynasty. I want to avenge the ten thousand Wala warriors who died in battle and avenge my son Talic."
"If Sanniangzi is willing to fight with the army and hand over the seal, I will let bygones be bygones.
"If he is not willing, I will first annihilate Bansheng City!"
Hwang Tae-gil made up his mind. This time, he must unify Wala. There could only be one voice in this grassland, and that was his voice.
At the same time, Hwang Tae-gil deeply hated Sanniangzi. If not for her, things would not have turned out this way.
10,000 of her cavalry had been killed, and her son had been captured. This woman deserved to die.
Bansheng City.
Sanniangzi naturally heard the news of Talic's capture. She was so angry that Sanniangzi smashed her precious wine vessel.
"Useless, this Talic is useless!"
Sanniangzi cursed Talic.
On one hand, she was angry for the 10,000 dead Wala warriors. On the other hand, she knew that if something happened to Talic, she would be in trouble.
She had originally wanted to let Hwang Tae-gil fight with Daming, or use Daming to subdue Hwang Tae-gil.
If Daming had not helped, Sanniangzi would not have fought with Hwang Tae-gil in the end.
To Sanniangzi, if she fought with Hwang Tae-gil, Daming or the Chahar tribe in the east would benefit.
Whether it was Daming or the Chahar tribe, Sanniangzi did not think they were good choices.
However, the current situation was that Huang Taiji was forced into a dead end, and he was also forced into a dead end.
"Talic, this useless thing!"
Sanniangzi was so angry that she could not help but curse Talic again.
"Sister!" Mo Rigen looked at Sanniangzi and said, "What should we do now?
Hwang Tae-gil will definitely vent his anger on us. If he wants to fight Daming, he will definitely get rid of us first. "
Mo Rigen knew this very well. If Hwang Tae-gil led his men to fight Daming, he would not be at ease and would get rid of them first.
